2 RARE NEW NELSON ALPHA 2 BRASS IMPACT SPRINKLER W/ COMMERCIAL

The best old school 1/2" sprinkler base/sprinkler combination on the market,  nothing you can buy at a big box hardware store can compare to this. This is the perfect combination for lawns, gardens, orchards and more. When you receive these you will be able to take them out of the box and be watering from your standard garden hose and normal household pressure in minutes. Winner of this auction will receive 2 deluxe 1/2" No-tip sprinkler bases,  this is a heavy duty, commercial quality, no-tip sprinkler base.  I have sold thousands of these to golf courses, cities, schools, ranches and homeowners over the last 25 years. They love them because the only maintenance that these require is a .49 cent hose washer every couple years. The base is made of steel schedule 40 black pipe that has been powder coated, both the hose end and the sprinkler ends are brass which is so important because it keeps the sprinkler from becoming rusted in. We paired our commercial bases with rare New 1980's era Nelson Alpha 2 1/2" full or part circle brass impact sprinklers. Super heavy duty nothing you can buy today can compare today, both in durability and the ability to create custom coverage with the distance adjustment flap and the pin and spring breaker. You will receive 2 combos *Poured and  built of American red brass. * Full or part circle operation circle operation * Hooks to your standard garden hose * Water tested at min and max psi to insure proper operation Please bid with confidence. Since 1985, I have rebuilt and tested more brass impact sprinklers than anyone. Our customers have included many of the most prestigious golf courses, college and pro sports stadiums, farms, and ranches in the USA.  Now because of the internet our new and rebuilt sprinklers, as well as repair parts and rebuilding services, are available to everyone. Recently a couple of sellers have popped up on Pricetronic offering rebuilt sprinklers. Please don't assume that all rebuilt sprinklers are rebuilt the same way and are of the same quality.  These other reconditioners are using high impact glass bead to clean the brass (like sand blasting); I can tell because back in the 80's I did the same thing( I don't care what they say yellow sprinklers = impact blasting). You end up with a nice looking, shiny brass sprinkler; however, I found that the glass bead removed small amounts of the brass which pitted the nipple and bearing. These pits held dirt, debris, and water deposits which did not allow the sprinkler to self flush, as it was designed to do.  The sprinkler ends up freezing up or grinding down the washers and the bearing. Glass beading not only does not clean the most important part of the sprinkler, the inside, it makes the sprinkler bearing less rebuildable the next time due to the damage.  I included a picture of brass nipples cleaned using my unique cleaning process that took years to perfect - glass smooth with no brass missing! If you buy a so-called "rebuilt" sprinkler from someone else and this spring you turn it on and, for whatever reason, it doesn't work, will they be there to help you? Do they have the inventory to replace it? I will. I do. Thanks, Frank
